This results in an optical performance that meets or exceeds that of other Sigma Art lenses, including the 18-35mm f\/1.8 DC HSM Art lens. Along with its 11-blade, rounded diaphragm, the design promotes sharpness and a large, smooth bokeh when used wide open.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ai-optimize-27\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn addition to the f\/1.8 maximum aperture, the lens also maintains an 11\" minimum focusing distance across the entire zoom range.

An internal zoom design maintains the overall length during use, making it easy to balance on gimbals. The design also suppresses focus breathing for smooth movement across the focal range. Sigma's high-speed, high-response linear actuator autofocus remains both quiet and accurate, while manual focusing is improved with click-and-lock mechanisms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html text_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ai-optimize-28\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo AFL buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ai-optimize-29\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocus mode switch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ai-optimize-30\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater- and oil-repellent coating on front element\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ai-optimize-31\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDust- and splash-resistant design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ai-optimize-32\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurable brass bayonet mount\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Foto Discount World","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51685125685546,"sku":"214965","price":15295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7541\/0730\/files\/sigma-17-40mm-f1.8-dc-art-lens.jpg?v=1781061078","url":"https:\/\/www.fotodiscountworld.co.za\/products\/sigma-17-40mm-f-1-8-dc-art-lens-sony-e","provider":"Foto Discount World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
